Guru Summary: What’s New?

The Big Highlight: XOS 5.8.0 is a massive feature patch bringing two major highly-requested capabilities: the built-in Dashcam (Driving Recorder) for continuous video recording, and Pet Mode to keep animals safe with A/C running.

AI Bodyguard (Dashcam)

  • Continuous Recording: You can now plug in a USB drive to record your surroundings (Front, or Front + 360) continuously while driving.
  • Emergency Auto-Save: If the car detects a collision or high-risk event, the footage is permanently locked and saved to the “Emergency” folder natively in the UI.
  • Phone Export: You can beam saved Dashcam videos directly to your smartphone over the car’s local Wi-Fi hotspot without consuming data.

Pet Mode & Cabin Features

  • Pet Mode: Safely lock your vehicle while leaving the A/C running for your dog. The windows are locked, the air circulates externally, and you get mobile app alerts if anything goes wrong.
  • Mic-Free Karaoke: Sing along without needing external microphones. The system smartly balances the audio for an immersive experience.
  • Copilot Steering: During LCC, the system now features temporary cooperative steering. You can make light steering inputs at speeds up to 85 km/h before the system resumes full lane-centering control.

Official Vendor Release Notes

XPILOT ASSIST

Joint Driving (Copilot)

  • 【Enhancement】Lane Centering Control (LCC) upgraded for more flexible joint driving: users can steer more freely while LCC remains active, enabling smoother collaboration between driver and system without needing to disable LCC. This reduces torque resistance. Works up to approx. 85 km/h.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) & LCC

  • 【Enhancement】XPILOT ASSIST allows faster cornering when ACC is active.
  • 【Enhancement】Increases the deceleration performance of ACC. Braking will feel smoother when stopping the car or when slower vehicles are detected ahead.
  • 【Enhancement】Increases LCC performance in specific scenarios, such as lane merging, exits, forks, and intersections. The steering wheel will vibrate less frequently.

AI Bodyguard (Security)

Dashcam (Driving Recorder)

  • 【New】Automatically records surroundings while driving to protect your vehicle. Records in “Front” or “Front + 360 view”.
  • 【New】Emergency Recording: When a high-risk collision event is detected, relevant recordings are locked and permanently saved in the “Emergency” folder in the “Recordings” app, allowing you to export it later.
  • 【New】Manual Activation: You can activate emergency recording immediately from the XDock or taskbar.
  • 【New】Send to Phone: Select a video and tap “Send to phone”. Connect your phone to the car’s hotspot, open the XPENG app, and receive the video directly to your album without using data.
